Notes

Witness the wine harvest in September

Witness the Olive harvest in October. We do block out the dates for the olive pressing because it can be noisy however we have received guests at this time in the past on request.

There are occasional events during the summer months, they tend to be for just half a day or an odd evening and so NOT include loud music.
